So I just got some FT booters (yes, i got them fitted and all, they do actually fit me) and I really like em but Ive heard a lot of stuff about how theyve got too much forward lean.  Ive only skied them for like 2 weekends so im still getting used to em, but ive heard some people suggest taking out the little spacer thing to help with the  forward lean.  what do you think?

Take the forward lean spacer out.  Definitely helps, but there still is a lot of forward lean.  I cannot believe they have a 4mm spacer.  That just seems nuts.

Go with no spacer. It helps.

Yep, Take the spacer out. Makes a big difference. even thought they do still have a bit of lean to them it's something that you can get used too.

There is a piece of the boot in the back that you can shave down and drops it back around 5mm. This is what a lot of the mogul guys do.
